Abstract

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Liu, Xiaotian, Ren, Dong, Wang, Yongjie (2025): New Middle Jurassic Osmylopsychopidae (Neuroptera) from Northeastern China. Zootaxa 5723 (2): 292-300, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5723.2.8, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5723.2.8AbstractOsmylopsychopidae, belong to an extinct family within Neuroptera. In this study, two new genera and three new species, namely, Densipsychops pectinatus gen. et sp. nov., Puripsychops eurypterus gen. et sp. nov. and Eupypsychops oligophlebius sp. nov. are described from the Middle Jurassic of Jiulongshan Formation of Daohugou, Inner Mongolia, China. A list of known osmylopsychopids and a key to genera are provided. The new finding further enhances our comprehension on the diversity of osmylopsychopids.
